​Dressing change steps after circumcision surgery

Circumcision is a very necessary surgery for men. This surgery is used by men to correct their poor penis shape or physiological problems caused by excessive foreskin. This surgery can solve men's physiological problems very well. Therefore, men with excessive foreskin generally need to undergo circumcision. However, since circumcision itself is a surgery, certain precautions are required. Let's take a look at the steps for changing the dressing after circumcision.

1. Prepare disposable medical gloves, disposable medical disinfection cotton swabs, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, medical gauze strips, and medical tape (all available at pharmacies, a total of about 30 yuan)

2. Wash your hands and put on disposable medical gloves (on both hands). First, gently tear off the medical tape wrapped around the gauze strip on the circumcision wound. If the tape is tightly stuck, you can use two sterilized cotton swabs dipped in hydrogen peroxide to gently wipe the tape surface to remove the stickiness and reduce the pain caused by the gauze strip rubbing against the wound.

3. After removing the tape, if there is a wound that is tightly stained with gauze, pour a bottle of hydrogen peroxide with a cap to wet the gauze. Then, gently grasp one end of the gauze with one hand and slowly pull it in the direction of untying. It will be easy to untie without worrying about pulling the wound or causing pain.

4. After removing the gauze, use hydrogen peroxide to disinfect the foreskin window. Dip several cotton swabs in hydrogen peroxide and first wipe the area around the foreskin wound, the base of the penis, the scrotum and the base of the thigh. Then take another cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide to wipe the blood and clean the wound.

5. Use a cotton swab dipped in iodine to reduce inflammation on the wound again. Finally, wrap the wound with medical gauze to prevent it from falling off and expose the glans penis. Then use medical tape to seal the connection of the gauze.

From the above explanation, changing the dressing after circumcision is a relatively troublesome process, but this process cannot be ignored. Changing the dressing after circumcision is an important process related to the overall effect of the operation and does not allow for any carelessness. Moreover, the male reproductive organ is very important. If the postoperative effect is not good, it will directly affect the male's family happiness.
